3 La nazione di Giuda è andata fuori del suo paese, Per l’afflizione, e per la gravezza della servitù; Ella dimora fra le genti, non trova riposo; Tutti i suoi persecutori l’hanno sorpresa nelle distrette.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

19 Io ho chiamati i miei amanti, ma essi mi hanno ingannata; I miei sacerdoti, ed i miei anziani sono spirati nella città; Perciocchè si han cercato del cibo, Per ristorar l’anima loro.
